About Webinars

In this virtual classroom, participants can join in a seminar led by Poynter faculty and visiting faculty. This screencast includes live audio and a slideshow presentation in which participants can post questions and respond to poll questions posed by the host.

Bringing an idea to life as a product or business is only the first step toward entrepreneurial success. Adapting that original idea to meet the constantly changing demands of the market takes discipline, planning and dedication to a process of measurement and learning.

In this Webinar, find out how important it is to execute an idea well and make your product fit the market. Learn to recognize the needs of your market and make something that people want. Also go through five steps to measure the success of your product in the market.

This matters to entrepreneurs launching a new company or a new product, but is equally important for anyone working within a larger news organization looking to launch new features, new products or new brands.

What Will I Learn:

Learn how ideas are cheap, execution is everything

How to make something people want

The difference between functional, personal and social "jobs to be done" for customers

5 steps to find "product-market fit"

The secret to continuous innovation
